REACH RODS, STEM ADAPTERS, HANDWHEELS, COUPLINGS, YOKES
REACH RODS
ERL Reach Rods are all 300 series, corrosion resistant, 100% stainless steel for extended service life. Full length Reach Rods can be provided as well as 2 part Reach Rods with coupling. One end can be machined to fit the Handwheel, but in many cases a Stem Adapter reduces the installed cost of the reach assembly. Brass shaft supports are available for long reach rods.
STEM ADAPTERS
Machined on computer controlled equipment from solid 300 series stainless steel bar stock, ERL's Stem Adapters represent the most simple economical way to ensure a perfect Handwheel to reach rod fit. ERL's Class III threads, matched stainless steel nut and heavy flat washer secure the steel nut and the heavy flat washer secure the Handwheel safely, yet allow it to easily be removed without applying heat and force. For ultimate flexibility the Stem Adapter can be either bolted or welded to unmachined stainless steel bar stock.
HANDWHEELS
Available in a variety of popular diameters, ERL's heavy duty Handwheels all have stainless steel hubs, and five stainless steel spokes (each 1/2" diameter) connect the hub to the solid 1" diameter rolled carbon steel outer ring. The corrosion resistant hub insures long life and easy removal from the Reach Rod.
COUPLERS
ERL machines stainless steel rod-to-rod Couplings from solid bar stock to insure a perfect fit to your reach rod O.D. 6" long Couplings are drilled to accommodate the bolting together of two solid rods. The Coupling can be welded on one or both ends if desired. A two part Reach Rod with a bolted Coupling is easy to install and facilitates future service of the Reach Rod.
YOKES
ERL's stainless steel rod-to-valve Yoke, represents the most simple, economical way to connect the lower end of the Reach Rod to the liquid control valve. Bolted or welded to the lower end of the Reach Rod the bottom of the Yoke bolts to the valve stem.
